Why does god want to cut off women's hands?

[Captain Colostomy]

Leave it to a Rebbe to soften god's blow here. These are the same nitwits who determined that a passage forbiding boiling a kid in it's mother's milk means Yahweh disapproves of cheeseburgers. WTF?

You gotta admit it though - they are damn good at this sort of thing.

The damned part I can agree with...the good part is a subjective thing. Now, compulsively anal....sure.

[John V]

Permission to abort a foetus if the mother's life is in danger. Who knew that was in there?

I did, actually.

So, as you consider jail to be punitive, do you say that societies want to put people in jail?
The context of the fight indicates that her intent is to injure, not fondle.

Yes, it is there.

Lev 24
19 If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him.

Now deep down you must know that if this was a quote from the Quoran as opposed to the Bible you would condemn it as vehemently as we are doing.

It just never ceases to amaze me how religious people leap to the defence of the indefensible.

It never ceases to amaze me how dumb atheist can be when they try to twist around perfectly sensible statements in scripture. They seem to throw aside the logic they other wise try to protect just to make a verse in scriptures seem senseless.

It never ceases to amaze me how dumb theist can be when they try to see sensibility in the "scripture". They seem to throw aside the logic they other wise try to protect just to make a verse in "scriptures" seem like it wasn't the pitifully disgusting product of some inbred, self-serving savage.

It never ceases to amaze me that Mrs. Butterworth's Syrup tastes nothing like maple, even though they charge out the ass for it.

You seriously consider it lunacy to say that punishment should be commensurate with the crime? Heck, atheists argue just that all the time with regard to eternal punishment.

The passage quoted goes beyond commensuration, so this I call lunacy. Actually, 'cruel and unusual' is a more appropriate label.

Just because you believe your god to be just and fair doesn't make it so.

Go to Turkey and get caught stealing and see how long you keep your hand, it's still used today and they do not believe in the Christian God.

Okay..... even with that interpretation are you defending said law? Do you think we should be cutting off hands in the western world?

With that interpretation, in much of the western world one would be justified in using lethal force.

It would be nice to get a straight answer. I'm not quite sure if you are in support of cutting off the hands of people who commit assault or not.

1, Turkey, despite being Islamic, is more civilized than the holy land of your primitive Judean god. They don't lap off hands for stealing. Like a christian, you aimed low, and missed.

2, I see only by aiming so low can you even attempt to defend your savage barbarous deserve cult. Maybe a few more sessions with “the holy spirit” will move you aim for a troop of lobotomized chimps next time to claim the bible ain’t so bad. Hint, even lobotomized chimps don't lop off hands of females that have touched a dong.

I wouldn't get caught...in Turkey. Nor do I care to ever again be incidentally subject to retarded ass religious 'justice' by a foreign entity. It's anachronistic, draconian and not very evolved. Time to shed the superstitious BS.

You moronic dumbshit. We aren't even talking about theft.
